NECA Asks How Should One Celebrate 30 Years Of The Best Turtles Movie Ever Made?

Today NECA posted these images for their 90's TMNT Turtle figures and asked the question how should one celebrate 30 years of the best turtles movie ever? The original TMNT movie was released in 1990.

We aren't sure if they are teasing some kind of re-release of the 4 turtles, or something else entirely. I'm sure we will hear more as we get closer to Toy Fair which kicks off on February 22.

Seems perfectly NECA to add accessories to these guys but instead of lowering Donnie's belt to where it belongs, they raise Leo's so it's in the wrong position, too.

Hopefully they dont change toooooo much if they are re-releasing them with new things. I like my set and dont want them to feel inferior to whats out.

Well, April O'Neil and Casey Jones would be great.  Some new dioramas too.

How about releasing your products in most retailers so anyone who is interested in them can get them without having to be hunting them fruitlessly or paying ridiculous prices in the aftermarke,  I hope it's about that.

So it seems Neca is adding some new accesories to its Turtles.

NECA would love to put 6" TMNT everywhere but they have no control over this. Playmates owns the US retail license for TMNT action figures at this scale. Originally NECA was only able to put this kind of product out in massive 1/4 scale or in very limited quantities as convention exclusives. 

Randy has been dedicated and determined to find creative ways to jump through hoops and loopholes to bring these lines to retail: with specialty retailers like GameStop, and for mass retail (like Target), displaying the figures in a unique "collectible" section--located closer to movies, music, and electronics--distinctly removed from the toy aisle. 

If they don't do it this way Playmates would see NECAs figures as competing with their kid-themed lines and shut it down. So if you have a complaint about being able to get your hands on these items direct your frustration, and comments to Playmates.

I'm all for a new release of the Turtles as I missed out on them, hopefully the new accessories are nothing major so people who already got them don't feel cheated, especially those who had to pay more in the secondary market.
